Cali Gun Owners Dig In Fighting “Gunmageddon”

California Gun Owners Dig In To Fight “Gunmageddon” On November Ballots

From Bear­ing Arms — The hip­pie fas­cists of California’s leg­is­la­ture rammed through a raft of anti-gun leg­is­la­tion this past ses­sion designed to tor­ture law­ful gun-own­ing cit­i­zens. Gov­er­nor Jer­ry Brown signed “Gun­maged­don” into law, but California’s gun own­ers aren’t going down with­out a fight.

Bar­ry Bahra­mi went from incred­u­lous to angry last month when Cal­i­for­nia Gov. Jer­ry Brown signed a batch of firearms con­trol laws known col­lec­tive­ly as “Gun­maged­don.”

Then, the San Diego-based CEO became deter­mined to fight back against the laws, which take aim at so-called assault weapons, enforce ammu­ni­tion back­ground checks, most­ly take effect Jan. 1 and out­law the pos­ses­sion of high-capac­i­ty mag­a­zines and ban the “bul­let but­tons” that already require a tool to release the mag­a­zine, instead advo­cat­ing that the rifle is par­tial­ly dis­as­sem­bled, and that any rifle with a detach­able mag­a­zine will be defined as an assault weapon.

“These laws are com­plete­ly insane to almost any­one with a real knowl­edge of firearms, and I did not think Gov. Brown would sign them,” Bahra­mi told FoxNews.com. “Many Cal­i­for­nia gun own­ers are still unaware they will be crim­i­nals soon.”

The all-Demo­c­ra­t­ic team of bill spon­sors proud­ly chris­tened the new leg­is­la­tion with its apoc­a­lyp­tic moniker, but Bahra­mi vowed that vot­ers will have the final word. He and oth­er Sec­ond Amend­ment stal­warts have orga­nized 1,600 vol­un­teers across the Gold­en State with the goal of gar­ner­ing 365,880 sig­na­tures — although ide­al­ly they would like to get far more than that to ensure valid­i­ty before sub­mit­ting — for each of sev­en ref­er­en­dum peti­tions to get on the Nov. 8 bal­lot.

If they suc­ceed, and they must have the sig­na­tures by the end of next month, they will put gun rights in the cen­ter of the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion. And if they win at the bal­lot box, they will over­turn the nation’s newest and most far-reach­ing gun con­trol laws and negate a some­what redun­dant set of gun con­trol mea­sures already set for a ref­er­en­dum even though the laws they pro­vide for are large­ly in effect.

“It comes down to this: get enough sig­na­tures on paper from reg­is­tered vot­ers in an insane­ly short peri­od of time and the law will go on the bal­lot for vot­ers to decide,” Bahra­mi said. “It is a sim­ple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and major­i­ty wins. To my knowl­edge, the option has nev­er been exer­cised to this scale before… I had to get the ball rolling.”

Cal­i­for­nia is being run into the ground by pow­er-mad anti-gun Democ­rats, but the fact remains that it is one of our most pop­u­lous states and home to tens of mil­lions of gun own­ers.

We’re call­ing on those gun own­ers to get involved, get active, and fight for their rights withVetoGunmageddon.org.

Vol­un­teer to help col­lect sig­na­tures, make sure oth­er gun own­ers sign the ref­er­en­dum peti­tions, and then get them to the polls on Novem­ber 8.
